After getting his driver's license, Shen Nian hadn't touched a car. His family's pickup truck was a manual, which he couldn't drive. Uncle Xia's sedan was an automatic, and while Shen Nian wanted to drive it, he was too embarrassed to ask.
Who in their right mind borrows someone else's car to go out and play right after getting their license?
Even if Shen Nian trusted his own driving skills, Uncle Xia wouldn't feel at ease. How could he dare to casually lend his car to a novice?
When borrowing the car to go out tonight, Shen Nian figured Uncle Xia would probably tag along, sitting in the passenger seat to give directions, just to prevent the two novices from driving the car into a ditch.
Shen Nian could understand, but he just felt a bit of regret that he wouldn't be able to let Chunbao sit in the passenger seat and rest his hand on her leg.
Sigh.
It seemed buying a car couldn't be delayed any longer. I choose you, BMW 330Li!
After spending some time packing his luggage, Shen Nian finally went to wash his hands.
It was only noon, the time when the sun was at its fiercest. Looking outside from his room, he could see waves of heat radiating off the road.
"Shen Nian, I want to eat breakfast."
"Eating breakfast at twelve o'clock? That's quite a lifestyle."
"Hehe, the first meal of the day is breakfast, no arguments accepted."
"..."
This girl slept until ten, stayed in bed until eleven, and then scrolled through her phone. Where would she have the time to eat breakfast?
And she still claims she isn't a pig.
"Didn't Auntie Wen cook breakfast?"
"She did, but there's only a little salted radish left..."
"Just make do with it for breakfast."
"What dishes do you have at your house?"
"Garlic stir-fried pork."
"Go, fetch a portion for this lady using a disposable bowl and chopsticks," Xia Yanchun hummed, waving her small hand. She was quite professional when it came to bossing Shen Nian around.
Shen Nian sweatdropped. Anyone who didn't know better would think this was Xia Yanchun's house.
"I have no obligation to fetch food for you. Of course, if you could call me Daddy..."
Now, it was fantasy time!
"?"
Xia Yanchun's expression turned from disdain to disgust, and she gave Shen Nian a kick.
"In your dreams."
"Then go down yourself."
"Sigh, so our relationship is this shallow, so shallow that you can't even fetch a meal for me..."
Xia Yanchun looked as if she were about to cry. Wrapping herself in Shen Nian's blanket, she turned around, acting all melancholic for the day.
The older sister was heartbroken, and it would take the younger brother fetching a meal to coax her back.
Shen Nian laughed out of exasperation. He leaned close to Xia Yanchun, pulled down a corner of the blanket to reveal the girl's fair little face, gave her a hard peck, and turned to go downstairs to fetch food for Haji Chun.
Going up and down the stairs didn't take much time. Shen Nian placed a bowl of porridge on the desk.
Hearing the noise, Xia Yanchun practically sparkled as she got up, sitting on the edge of the bed and happily eating her breakfast.
"I still have to bring my computer over, so troublesome." Shen Nian's gaze fell on his PC.
"Good thing mine is a laptop, hehe."
"Careful, or I won't bring mine later and just steal yours to use."
"Don't you dare, I'll beat you to death." Xia Yanchun clenched her small fist.
"How about... I just buy another one?"
"Are you crazy? If you have too much money, you can spend it on me."
"That won't do." Shen Nian stroked his chin. He'd have to ask his parents later if they would be busy over the next couple of days.
He had bothered Auntie Wen several times already, and she had to adjust her shifts every time, which was quite a hassle.
It wasn't like Shen Nian could buy a car at the speed of light in these two days, otherwise he would just drive his own car over.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Yanchun threw the disposable bowl and chopsticks into the trash can, her little feet naturally retreating back onto the bed.
Seeing that Shen Nian seemed to be pondering something, Xia Yanchun curiously extended her index finger and poked Shen Nian's index finger.
"Sigh, I want to buy a car." Shen Nian also lay down.
"Have you decided what to buy?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a BMW." Shen Nian leisurely rested his head on his hands and smiled, "Having my own first car at such a young age, don't you think I'm amazing?"
"Amazing, amazing!"
"Chunbao sure knows how to talk sweetly."
"Are you in love?"
"I'm in love, I'm madly in love."
Xia Yanchun was delighted by Shen Nian's sweet talk. Feeling wonderful, she pecked Shen Nian on the cheek and quickly shrank back into the blanket.
Shen Nian chuckled and adjusted his position, embracing Xia Yanchun just like usual. He greedily took in the young girl's fragrance while accompanying her in wasting time.
Sometimes, wasting time was also a very enjoyable thing to do.
With nothing to do, Xia Yanchun stayed in Shen Nian's room for the entire noon, only feeling satisfied after his blanket and bed were dyed with her sweet scent.
For a long time, Shen Nian had been running over to her room to sleep, leaving his poor bed to face an empty room every day.
Today, she would take care of Shen Nian's bed!
"I'll come sleep at your house tonight, you're not allowed to lock the window."
"Chunbao, you wouldn't want Uncle and Auntie to know about you climbing over the balcony to sneak into my room, would you?"
"Hehe, I haven't climbed over yet. You, on the other hand, climb over every day. You wouldn't want Uncle and Auntie to know about you climbing over my balcony, would you?"
"Wow, you even know how to parry."
Xia Yanchun looked immensely proud of herself and stretched lazily in Shen Nian's arms.
Afternoons easily make people drowsy. Even Xia Yanchun, who had slept her fill, felt a bit sleepy after lying down comfortably for so long.
However, she didn't plan on taking a nap. The afternoon and evening were both suitable times for livestreaming. School would start soon, and with so many students in her stream, her traffic would definitely be cut in half by then. She had to take the opportunity to stream a bit more and earn an extra sum.
Don't think that just because they are students, they don't bring in money. Xia Yanchun never begged for gifts, but she would thank whoever sent them. So far, she hadn't encountered any underage refund issues or anything like that. Who would complain about having too much money?
She was seriously explaining academic questions, what's wrong with earning a little cash?
"Are you streaming this afternoon?" Xia Yanchun shimmied her body and burrowed into Shen Nian's embrace.
"Whatever works. It doesn't matter if I take a day off."
"Roughly how much have you earned streaming for this long?"
"I made a hundred and sixty thousand last month," Shen Nian told the truth.
"!!"
Xia Yanchun petrified.
She knew the internet was lucrative, but this was a bit too lucrative.
But after her initial shock, Xia Yanchun figured it out.
Shen Nian was now a content creator with over three million followers across the net. Having this kind of earning power didn't seem too outlandish. She heard some people got tens of thousands in ad revenue just for a single video.
"So impressive..." Xia Yanchun's voice was soft and sweet. "I only made seventeen thousand in total last month..."
"That's very impressive too, my Chunbao is awesome."
"You're still a pig."
"I meant that to praise you for being awesome, I really wasn't insulting you."
"I don't believe it." Xia Yanchun pouted. Her nemesis had eight hundred hidden agendas; if she wasn't careful, she wouldn't even know she was being insulted.
Shen Nian bared his teeth and pressed against Chunbao's forehead. He really couldn't hide anything from Haji Chun; he couldn't even secretly insult her if he wanted to.
"I knew it..." Seeing his silly look, Xia Yanchun knew she had guessed right.
Just as she was trying to find a way to insult Shen Nian back, he suddenly moved, abruptly hugging her much tighter, which startled her into shrinking back a bit.
"Why are you hugging me so tightly..."
"Chunbao, I think we can take a break today. Let's not stream," Shen Nian's expression flickered with a mix of light and shadow.
Xia Yanchun could not see Shen Nian's expression. Her small face was flushed red, appearing somewhat submissive and somewhat tempted. She gripped the quilt. When the restraints were removed, Shen Nian gently eased Xia Yanchun's body into a state of relaxation.
The young girl's eyes gradually grew hazy, her breathing intermittent, as she let out her final trace of stubbornness:
"Interrupting my money-making, Haji Nian, you jerk..."
My condition is really bad today, I don't know why, and my writing is a mess too... Orz

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers!
